U+18057 "𘁗" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘁗
U+18057 "𘁗" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logogram from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This specific character, part of the Tangut block in Unicode, represents a unique ideograph whose meaning and pronunciation were originally documented in the 12th century Tangut dictionary "The Sea of Characters." As of now, its exact semantic value and phonetic reading remain undeciphered or are known only to specialists, making it a subject of ongoing philological research rather than a character with a commonly recognized modern interpretation.
